MyVans Your Vehicle Solution
If you’re a Ford owner, you might be familiar with MyKey, a feature that allows you to set restrictions on certain aspects of your vehicle. While this feature can be useful for parents of teen drivers or fleet managers, it can be a nuisance for others. Fortunately, disabling MyKey is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps.
What is MyKey?
MyKey is a feature that was introduced by Ford in 2010. It allows the owner of a vehicle to program a key with certain restrictions that are designed to promote safe driving habits. Some of the restrictions that can be set with MyKey include a maximum speed limit, a maximum audio volume limit, and a seat belt reminder chime.
Step 1: Insert the MyKey
The first step to disabling MyKey is to insert the MyKey that you want to disable into the ignition. It’s important to note that if you have multiple MyKeys programmed for your vehicle, you’ll need to disable each one individually.
Step 2: Turn the Ignition On
Once the MyKey is inserted, turn the ignition on but don’t start the engine. You should see the “MyKey Active” message displayed on the dashboard.
Step 3: Access the Menu
Press the “Setup” button on the dashboard until you see the “Reset All MyKeys” option. Press the “Reset” button and then confirm that you want to reset all of the MyKeys by pressing “Yes”.
Step 4: Restart the Engine
After you’ve confirmed that you want to reset all of the MyKeys, turn off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition. Then, insert the key that you want to use as the admin key and turn the ignition on. You should see the “MyKey Disabled” message displayed on the dashboard.
Step 5: Test the Key
To make sure that the MyKey has been disabled, test the key by attempting to exceed any of the restrictions that were previously set. If the restrictions have been disabled, you should be able to exceed them without any issues.
Overall, disabling MyKey is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Whether you’re looking to remove restrictions that were set by a previous owner or you simply want to have full control over your vehicle, following these steps will allow you to disable MyKey and enjoy the full capabilities of your Ford.

How do I remove a MyKey without the admin key?
Unfortunately, if you don’t have the admin key, you won’t be able to remove a MyKey. You’ll need to contact a Ford dealership or a locksmith to help you remove the MyKey.
Can I program a MyKey myself?
Yes, you can program a MyKey yourself using the instructions in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. However, you’ll need at least one admin key to do so.
